It's still in the testing phase but it's even killing HIV, e-coli, fungus, viruses and Salmonella. That makes one wonder if it's because of it's 'reptilian' nature? I guess it's true that you can fight fire with fire.

Researchers in Louisiana say they've discovered unique antibiotic proteins in the blood of American alligators that can kill a wide range of deadly bacteria, halt the spread of common infections and perhaps even stop the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
Advanced tests on their blood showed that tiny amounts of proteins extracted from the disease-fighting white blood cells killed a wide range of bacteria, including hospital superbug MRSA and food poisoning bugs E coli and Salmonella.
